Europe October 2013

The "Angry Puppy" face of the BMW i3 is already peekin' on the Euro Ranking
Up Again Edition

The european plug-in market is growing for the third month in a row, with 6.153 units sold, October brought a new  sales record, with two models selling in the four digit area: The Nissan Leaf (1.115 units), more and more the EV  leader in the Old Continent, and the Volvo V60 Plug-In (1.075 units), that just keeps on improving its monthly numbers as well as its YTD position (It's now #4).

Good performance for the Renault Zoe (942 units), a much needed improvement just when people started to doubt Renault's strategy...

The Smart Fortwo ED had a record month (395 units), climbing to #7 and the Bolloré Blue Car had a comeback month, selling 203 units, climbing two positions to #12.

The BMW i3 makes its first appearance at the bottom of the ranking (#15), but with full on sales starting in November, things will only get better for the new bavarian baby.

  1. Its great to see an (essentially) independent automaker like Volvo reach such high sales figures.
